The jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that has been used by the developers for creation of websites and web applications since a long time. But, there is a loophole with this. It allows only for the development of applications for desktop. It does not support the development of cross-platform web applications as the way jQuery Mobile can do.
Many of them think that jQuery Mobile is the mobile version of jQuery. But, this is a wrong notion as this is just a framework built on simple jQuery platform. The jQuery mobile development allows for the creation of mobile web applications that can work across various mobile devices to fit variant screen sizes and resolutions. This is an amazing multiplatform UI framework with which one can develop interesting cross-device web apps with awesome look and feel.

- When required to target compatibility of the application with HTML5 and CSS3.
- In order to develop flexible applications that remain compatible and easy to update as the new platforms emerge in the market every now and then.
- In order to eliminate all the efforts and costs required to put in the development of individual web applications targeted to each platform or device.
